Ni Hao Pickles!

This is a tricky question and can get quite detailed in response. I think it all depends on the purpose and brand of your software as legitimate anti-spyware serves sepcific functions.

If we can trust “legitimate” brands and programmes… who can we trust?

Not sure if you remember the series X FILES… as they always said :

“Trust no one”
